Letters Patent No. 95,830, dated October 12, 1869.

IMPRovED sAUsAGE-STUFFER The Schedule referred to in these Lettus Patent and making part of the same.

I, THOMAS PARKER, of Shelby, in the county of mittent, forces in a quantity of air, which can only be excluded by making holes in the case.

Figure 1 is a perspective view.

Figure 2 is a plan view, with the hopper removed.

Figure 3 is a detached view.

In the drawings-- A represents a chamber, divided, by partitions b b, into three compartments, all# a, these compartments converging'into one common space, ai, at which point is secured a spout, d, through which the meat is conveyed into the sausage-case.

The bottom of the chamber A is semici'rcular.

B represents a roller or shaft, whose `journals turn in suitable bearings,'c c, at each end ofthe chamber A.

. lhis roller has three slots cut through it, crosswise, each in a different direction, as seen at el e2 e, iig. 3. 'lhese slots are in line. with the compart ments a.1 a2 a5i of the,chamber A.

Into each of the slots is placed loosely a dat bar, D,.which, as the rollers revolve, are made to slide through'the slots, back and forth, by their ends slid In a. suitable healing, g, cast on the-chamber A, is

placed a pinion, h, meshing with the wheel f. Y

There is a. crank, i, for turning the pinion, attached to its shaft. By this simple arrangeine'ntvt-hc power of theA crank is multiplied upon the roller B.

In small machines, where less power is required, the wheel f may be dispensed with, and the crank applied directly to the shaft ot' the roller B.

A frame and cover, C, are placed on the chamber A, covering only the chamber between the roller B and spout d, there being a hopper, (1', attached to the -frame C.

The spoilt d has a flange, turned on its inner end, which rests in a/groove in the neck of thc chamber A, which secures it ill place.

The fiamc and cover VC are held in place by a ring,

j, encircling the neck, and by a latch, 1.', on the back .side of the machine.

Legs n 'n are secured to the machine, at the corners, the feet of which are pierced, for the purpose ot' securing the machine to a table by screws.

rlhe operation of this machine is as follows:

The sausage-meat is placed in the hopper C', when, by turning the roller B, by means of the crank i', the bars 1) carry the meat around-umler the roller, through the compartments a ai u, and force it through the spout d.

'1t will'be observed thatthis'is a continuous opera tion, and that little or no air will be mingled with the meat, and that the operation is very easily and perfectly performed, rendering this a machine possessing peculiar advantages over othersl now in use.

It is alsoy very simple and cheap in construction, and not liable to get ont ot' repair.

I do not claim providing theroller ot' a sausagestutling machine with slots, and fitting sliding bars
